With Capacity Building funds from the NSF Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program, the University of Hawaii Manoa (UHM), in conjunction with faculty across colleges in the UH System and with outside experts, will establish and strengthen the infrastructure and collaborations that will ultimately lead to increasing the number and diversity of highly-qualified mathematics and science teachers in high-need schools across Hawaii. In Hawaii, the attrition rate for licensed teachers who come from out of state or who start teaching prior to completion of a teacher preparation program is significantly higher (50%) than for those who complete teacher preparation programs in Hawaii. Working toward solutions, project partners will include the UHM College of Education, STEM faculty from the College of Arts & Sciences and College of Engineering, as well as Kapiolani Community College (KCC) and the Hawaii State Department of Education.These partners will work collaboratively to create pathways for undergraduates majoring across STEM fields (specifically, mathematics, science, and engineering) to pursue a double major with secondary education. In consultation with an expert on the effective UTeach model, the project partners will (1) design course sequences allowing STEM and education double majors; (2) design new courses to introduce teaching to students early in their college careers thus enabling them to concurrently complete STEM degrees and College of Education coursework; and (3) develop recruitment plans involving awareness-raising, advising, scholarships, and articulation agreements with UH system community colleges.

利用NSF Robert Noyce教师奖学金计划提供的能力建设资金，夏威夷大学马诺阿大学(UHM)将与UH系统中各学院的教职员工以及外部专家一起，建立和加强基础设施和合作，最终将导致夏威夷各地高需求学校高素质数学和科学教师的数量和多样性增加。在夏威夷，来自州外或在完成教师准备计划之前开始教学的持证教师的流失率(50%)明显高于那些在夏威夷完成教师准备计划的教师。为了寻求解决方案，项目合作伙伴将包括密歇根大学教育学院、文理学院和工程学院的STEM教师，以及卡皮奥拉尼社区学院(KCC)和夏威夷州立大学教育部。这些合作伙伴将共同努力，为STEM专业(特别是数学、科学和工程)的本科生提供双学位和中等教育。在咨询有效的UTeach模式专家后，项目合作伙伴将(1)设计允许STEM和教育学双专业的课程序列；(2)设计新的课程，将教学介绍给大学生涯早期的学生，使他们能够同时完成STEM学位和教育学院的课程工作；(3)制定包括提高认识、咨询、奖学金和与UH系统社区学院的衔接协议的招生计划。
